Welcome!

This is a long form, but please don't be intimidated - most sections are not compulsory. However, by filling it out comprehensively you are helping your clinician to understand your situation, and you are likely to end up with more time in your appointment to discuss issues of importance to you. If you need to step away from the form, or you are putting in a lot of time to make it comprehensive, please consider using the 'Save and complete later' link at the bottom of the page.

PLEASE NOTE:

Dr Foote is not available for ongoing treatment. He may be available in September, October, and November for one-off assessments.

Dr Brown is not available for private appointments (including ADHD assessments).

ACC or another third-party payer e.g. Gallagher BassettSouthern Cross or other insurancePaying privately (self or other party)

There will be no additional fees payable if your third-party provider (ACC or other) has raised a purchase order for your Northland Psychiatry assessment.

If you are seeing Dr Foote, your comprehensive initial assessment will take up to ninety minutes, and may take place via Zoom if you live out of the Northland area or if Dr Foote is travelling. After a thorough and sensitive exploration of presenting issues, psychiatric history, medical history, family history, lifestyle, life experiences, and personality, Dr Foote will discuss with you the diagnosis (if any) and how your experiences can be understood medically and/or psychologically (for more about the unique skills of a psychiatrist, please see www.northlandpsychiatry.co.nz/what-is-a-psychiatrist/). You can then discuss options including medications, psychotherapy, other therapies, and agencies which may be of assistance.

Dr Foote will prepare a 2-3 page report for you and/or your GP in the week following your meeting. The cost for an initial assessment is $850 including GST. You can pay by internet banking at least two days in advance to ASB 123135015061600, or by cash in person (we do not have EFTPOS). If you need a special type of assessment or report (e.g. for court) please advise immediately as the cost may change and we may have to reschedule.
